I remember when this came out. I thought he was a total psycho. I still think that.

O'Reilly was a giant blowhard. His constant screaming schtick was a huge turnoff to gen-x and millennials. The only people who liked him were asshole boomers who screamed at their kids. Tucker brought in a lot of the more desired middle age and younger demographic. The same demographic that can follow him online.

That's not the point. He was a ratings draw. You don't shitcan your top draw for no good reason or you're going to alienate your audience. In this case, the boomer audience bought the sex scandal explanation and stayed with Fox. What fucking excuse is Fox going to have for shitcanning Tucker that is not going to cause mass alienation?

As for O'Reily, people only remember him through the bias of their more libtard youth watching Colbert and Stewart mokcing him before they got red pilled by the awful turn the internet and media took after 2011. While he probably stooged for neocon bullshit like the Iraq War, I doubt anyhthing he had to say on social cultural shit would be out of line with what people on this forum think.

I don't think it's completely true, but it certainly makes complete sense and is a valid argument. The path to mass popularity is reshaping yourself into being that what people want. Trump did it by claiming he wanted to build a border wall. Biden did it by pretending he wasn't old and braindead. Hillary tried the same as Biden, but collapsing on 9/11 was very bad optics.

All I know for sure, is that the corporations say, there are certain things you aren't allowed to talk about.

People who watch Fox News tasted blood after the Budweiser situation. They just saw that corporations bend the knee if they are pressured into doing it so I don't think it will be as simple as bringing the next guy this time. Though of course I might be overestimating Fox's audience but people really liked Tucker.

My theory is that Fox execs are shorting their own stock. It’s the only way to logically explain the network’s actions.

He was only a draw for a dying demographic who had no real alternatives to media if they were conservative. They also had Tucker to replace him, knowing that Tucker would bring in a younger crowd more friendly to advertisers. But you're right, they will have a much harder time bullshitting Tuckers firing.

As far as O'Riley's opinions, I don't care if he has the exact same opinions I do. The guy is a screaming psycho who is unpleasant to listen to. I agree with a lot of his points today and I still won't listen to him because he still screams over his guests. Same with Glenn Beck even though he was never as bad as O'Reilly. I don't want to listen to a raging asshole even if they say things I like.

People keep talking about stocks and money. As if it's the major factor. CNN has some of the lowest ratings in their history. They don't change course, they don't do anything. Because, that's what they are paid to say. They are paid, to tell you, what they are told to say. That's it. There's no economics at work here. It's State media. That's it. Most of the pundits and interviewers they hire, are former state employees. It's just a revolving door, like the regulators that end up in government jobs regulating the companies they used to work for.

I can't recall a single time when Bill O'Reilly screamed on air with his O'Reilly Factor show on Fox growing up as a teenager in the 2000's. At times he could raise his voice and get in heated yelling arguments, but people act like that off the air segment of him from the late 80's is for whatever reason how he acted daily. Now if you really want some screaming, should've been around for people like Michael Savage when he was on the radio. Use to listen to that guy all the time, but I think a lot of people did just to hear him yell and shit on someone on the air.

I keep hearing that Carlson is "controlled opposition", but all the evidence is that he hasn't gone full stormfront.

I have a feeling that DW do have the money for Tucker. Not only from their company, but they must be getting investors from somewhere at this point (Peter Thiel, etc.) if they could potentially drop $50 million on someone like Crodwer.

I think Peter Thiel would rather invest any money directly on Tucker than do it through an intermediary.

Besides, as much respect as Carlson could feel for Shapiro, this would be a step down for him.

Left vs right is a narrative construct used to manipulate Americans. Both parties are filled with jews that routinely work together across "party lines" for the benefits of jewish orgs like the World Economic Forum, despite the jewish media constantly pushing the false narrative via (((political theater))).

cool it with the antisemitic remarks. Its the 99% vs the 1%. The elites who want to dictate what you can and cannot do in your everyday life while we have no say in theirs. Class warfare.

As much as I enjoy my /pol/ memes, @tehpope is right. Jews who give money or support degeneracy are often the 1% of them (rich and liberal) while right wing Jews tend to be middle class.

I watched O'Reilly as an adult in the 00s and he screamed all the time. If you think that's just raising your voice you have issues.

Maybe you were just raised as a sissy. That's nothing, at most its just a heavily passionate argument and Bill's getting really into it.

O'Reilly is just a Neocon/Trostkyist mouthpiece.

It's a caricature from fucking Comedy Central. They remember that instead of what his show was like. The thing he should be criticized for is supporting neocon policies.

Tucker "White people are not allowed to make common cause" Carlson

The problem with Tuckers opinion, is that everyone else, of other ethnicities, don't hold that same opinion. Statistically:

 

[UERISIMILITUDO]

Prior to 1900 you would've had to deliver vote counts by hand via horse courier, maybe some places had a telegraph you could use to wire information. Prior to 1960 you didn't have ballot marking devices and would've had to count each vote by hand.

Read about the history of IBM and be less ignorant in the future.

 

[BULLY HUNTER_78]

Tuckers days were numbered after that. They'll blame the voting machine lawsuit for it, but the real issue was Tucker broke the story on how the US Government violated due process under the 14th Amendment and the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure established by the Supreme Court of the United States in Betts v. Brady, to put people in prison after the January 6 "insurrection".

The best part is it's so obvious that if they were willing to lie about J6, they were certainly willing to lie about the election that instigated J6. Any normie with an IQ above room temperature can deduce the connection.

Our government is brazenly corrupt to its core.

Forced out by Rupert Murdoch's son over a lawsuit by former co-worker Abby Grossberg:
https://www.latimes.com/entertainme.../2023-04-24/tucker-carlson-is-out-at-fox-news / https://archive.is/ALmcT

According to one person familiar with the discussions, Murdoch’s son Lachlan, executive chairman of Fox Corp., and Suzanne Scott, chief executive of Fox News Media, decided late Friday that Carlson had to go.

Carlson’s exit is related to the discrimination lawsuit filed by Abby Grossberg, a producer fired by the network last month, the sources said. Carlson’s senior executive producer, Justin Wells, has also been terminated, according to insiders.

https://www.latimes.com/entertainme...-network-lawyers-on-defamation-case-testimony / https://archive.is/ypfH7

Abby Grossberg was fired Friday by Fox News days after she filed her lawsuit in New York and Delaware that alleged discrimination based on gender, religion and disability. Her suit claims she was bullied and subjected to sexist and antisemitic comments while working as head of booking for the Fox News program “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

The gross 'berg:
